To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Hi all!

We just discovered we have way more presents for older niece than we do for younger niece, who is 4. Any hive mind suggestions for last minute gifts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, so I learnt things (among which -- I want dream!shrift's shirt). People do buy their wives (it was always given this way round as an example, except for one parent->daughter) luxury cars for Christmas. December is the year with highest luxury car sales.

Also, that Whittaker guy who won the lottery has had a lousy time of it, but that lousy time includes repeatedly being robbed of thousands in cash.

Dude. Come on.

nice work, tiggy! Yep, not quite the same, but surprisingly close. Who knew that there is such similar architecture in Sunnydale and Newport?

when we were driving around LA for the sites tour that year, it was amazing how similar all of the houses looked. it's definitely a popular style in that area. does the OC actually film in Orange County?

tiggy, no. Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes.

But the faux craftsman is a common look, especially in the upper-end yet-still-older, not-in-a-gated-community houses.

Sweet zombie Jesus. Due to our company being acquired, I have to fill out "a survey to determine how we spend our time and to identify opportunities for optimization and common barriers across functional groups."

I suppose it wouldn't be a good idea to write down my job description as "doing shit what is more important than helping you all re-engineer our processes."

I'm wearing a Prana yoga top, jeans, white socks and scuba fins. And it's AWESOME.

One of the obsessives at the TVtome OC board says:

The studio is in Manhattan Beach, it is called Raleigh Studios and you can take a tour. Also they do filming in Malibu and newport beach and Newport Harbor.

So, technically they do film a little in the OC - probably just those aerial shots of Newport Harbor and a few other exteriors. I don't know where the pier with The Bait Shop is.

Whyfor the fins, Kat, and can we get pictures?

Also, Hi!
